Haslam visits German medical facility

Gov. Bill Haslam is wrapping up his tour of combat zones, but not without making a final stop before heading back to Tennessee.

The governor spent a second day in Afghanistan on Thursday and then flew to Germany on Friday, according to a spokesman. There, Haslam visited the medical facility where wounded troops are treated before they return to the United States.

Earlier in the week, Haslam visited bases in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kuwait in a trip for governors organized and paid for by the U.S. Department of Defense.

Haslam resumes his normal duties at 8:30 a.m. Monday with a not-so-secret appearance at the Knoxville City-County Building, where he will swear in a new judge.
